Santa Teresa La Gallura is a municipality located in the deep north of Sardinia, of which it represents the last municipality on the mainland. Founded in 1801 in the then locality of Longosardo by Vittorio Emanuele I, who dedicated it to his beloved wife Maria Teresa, it enjoys a privileged position: in fact, it represents the most advanced point of the mouths of Bonifacio. The village is dominated by the landmark Tower of Longosardo, erected at the behest of Philip II of Spain. All around, in all directions, beaches and coves where you can enjoy the changing colors of the sea. Santa Teresa di Gallura, which is enlivened every summer by thousands of tourists who flock to the clubs and live music events, is also very close to the Lu Brandali Nuragic Complex-one of the most important in northern Sardinia.
This archaeological site, among the best known in this area, brings to light the history of the Nuragic communities who lived here and built the typical dwellings that are now evidence of ancient history. In addition to the huts, you can also see the famous funerary monument of the Tombs of the Giants here.
A short distance from the town center you can reach the Longonsardo Tower, a granite construction between the Santa Reparata and Porto Longone Bays. In antiquity it played a fundamental function in defending the area from assaults and controlling traffic. You may also hear it referred to as the Tower of St. Theresa, a name given to it since the first half of the 19th century with the establishment of the town of the same name.
